Small-town cops get bomb-resistant war truck

There were two murders in Farmington, N.M., in 2011, down from three in 2010. And there were 73 rapes and 40 robberies. Ten arsons and 93 auto thefts also were reported by a crime data website.

Think those figures might drop now that the police department is equipped with a new explosive resistant and highly intimidating war machine called an MRAP, a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle that withstands bullets and bombs and is not slowed by water or fire?
